Enhance Your Comfort with Window Tinting, Solar Shades, and Awnings
Why sweat in the heat and squint into the sun when you can relax in comfort instead? Our tinted window films, solar shades, and awnings let you reclaim your living spaces from the oppressive heat of the sun.
If you’re interested in having a cool living room or showroom, a breezy patio, a shaded entryway, or glare-free windows, then you’ve arrived at the right place. We’ve been in the solar control business in Columbia SC for 45 years and are local experts in residential and commercial window tinting, solar shade, and awning installation. Our showroom comes to you – no need to take your own measurements or guess how a tint or fabric will look, you’ll be able to see for yourself!
Our Solar Control Services
We offer a wide range of solar control and privacy enhancing products for both commercial and residential buildings. See how we can help you stay cool this summer:
Residential Window Tinting Services
Residential window films block heat and damaging UV rays without obstructing your view. Energy saving Low-E window films save you money even in the winter! See what a difference they can make!
Commercial Window Tinting Services
Window films let you enhance customer and employee comfort by cutting down on annoying glare and uncomfortable heat or keep back of house operations private with mirrored and opaque window films.
Retractable Awnings
With instant shade at the push of a button you’ll be able to enjoy your porch or patio all summer long! Our retractable awnings offer 134 fabric designs and a suite of available customizations.
Interior Roller Shades
Heat blocking by day, additional privacy by night. Interior roller shades will make your living spaces more comfortable, less reliant on your AC to stay cool, and keep your house safe from prying eyes.
Decorative Window Film
From basic frosted glass to elegant, full-color imagery, decorative window films let you transform any glass surface into something extraordinary. Customize your shower door or display your brand on your business’s entryway.
Patio Roller Shades
Spend more time looking at your guests instead of squinting at them! Exterior roller shades block 65% of the heat and 100% of the glare, letting you more completely enjoy your outdoor spaces.
Permanent Awnings
Add a touch of elegance to your home or business’s windows and entryways while enhancing privacy and blocking out the harsh rays of the sun with a permanent awning installation.
Awning Installation Services
Whether you’re looking for a retractable awning to cover your porch or patio, or a permanent solution to mount above windows and entryways, we’ve got you covered. Our Sunesta brand awnings come in 134 different fabric designs and a wide range of customizations to fit any aesthetic.
Decorative Window Film
With decorative window films your imagination is the limit of what’s possible. Frosted glass is the classic example – but you can turn your shower doors into a jungle scene, or your business’s front windows into a huge opportunity for branding.
Roller Shades
Don’t let the sun chase you out of your living spaces. We have roller shades for both indoor and outdoor applications which can block 65% of the heat and 100% of the glare! Even in the middle of a hot South Carolina summer day you’ll be able to relax in cool shade. Roller shades don’t stop working when the sun goes down either – screening your private life from unwanted attention.

We take the guesswork out of measurements and all of our installations are performed by our own expert craftsman – not sub-contracted out!
